I personally am loving the TripleThreat one, due to the fact that all 3 star players are a threat so they form a triplethreat, but also all 3 are 'TripleThreats' (bball term) in that they can dribble pass and shoot as well.


For the people that vote "other"/other selection on the poll, if you could reply and list the name you think is best that would be real cool too. Thanks.

I've been saying "The Three" since the deal and I like it, quick, easy and identifiable.  It's an homage to The Big Three without ripping them off. 

Also, I'm lazy, really lazy, and I hate syllables, they're for pansies.  Any nickname with more than 2 I'm not for. I like mine.

I agree completely.

How about "the New Three?"

I am New to this site, but I have been calling Pierce KG and Allen, "The Next 3" seeing lets face it, they can't e ven be close to the "Big 3" till the win a championship. so "The Next 3" works.

Triple Threat all the way. Big 3 and The next 3 etc just lack innovations, I mean it's all good to call them that for a month or so, it's just too monotonous now.
Anything is possible!!!

I'm still a fan of "Trio Grande".

But when opponents come to TD BankNorth a fall into "The Garden's GAP" reference could be fun.

trio grande, or tres grande, is best.  it basically is the same as the "big three," but in different words, and that is the most appropriate description.  Three potent basketball forces, but with different names from the originals.

And I think it sounds best, by far.

I am partial to "The Trinity," but maybe I should wait until after they win a championship to name them that.
